Roger Brown body lift problems???
Has anybody had any problems after installing a roger brown body lift? I am considering a 1-2" body lift and have heard a lot of bad stories about body lifts. If i decide to do one, i don't want to have an permenant damage done. Anybody have any problems with the mounts or body, with the roger brown body lift, because i haven't ever heard anything bad about his lifts. Also, how long have people been running his lifts for? Thanks.

As long as you do it correctly and don't jimmy rig anything it's as good as stock. Body lifts contrary to popular belief are NOT rocket science. I just did one last weekend and it's simple to do. Move a couple brackets, modify a few small things and your lifted. I've seen numerous 3 inch ones and the smaller 1-2" ones are even more simple.

Yep, no problems here. The hardest part for me was removing the stock bolts. EVERY ONE of them sheared. Well except for one that rounded off, we had to use a sawzall on that one...

I figure that's it's way of shedding things it doesn't like...

Performance Accessories puts out one not sure if everything is included in them though.
Most BL kits you can remove and put the truck back to stock but why would you want to remove it?
If you sold it most people would buy it with oversized tires and with the body-lift and suspension lift anyways so why bother to remove it.
If you plan on wheeling it I think damage from installing a body-lift is the least thing you need to worry about..

My RB BL was shipped today, and I have nothing but good things to say about customer service! Everything is so simple, and complete. We'll see when the product comes and gets installed!
I do have a question though..I have an optima yellow top and the terminals are towards the grill and not the cab, so I've already unhooked the wires from that clip on the body....Will I need even MORE slack? I don't think I've got it.

Wish the previous owner used Rogers lift! :cry: Instead, he used others with smaller blocks.... now a few lift blocks have caved in the body of the cab :cry: Rogers blocks are wider so you wont get the caving in problem...
